Making an ACCDE from a Front End... Good Idea?

[jimmy.guilfoyle]

Hi Folks

I crated this post here -

http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=189068

It was ref splitting the DB (front end and backend)

This is working well and I'm happy.

Is it a good idea to make a ACCDE file from my front end to really restrict what my users can do to forms etc?

Or can I not do this on a split database?

Actually whilst writing the thread I tried it and it seemed to work OK.

But is it a good idea?

Regards

Jimmy

PS I really appreciate all your advice

I say it is a great idea. Better yet it should be a requirement. I only use mde/accde front ends.

IMHO, one of the reason you split a database is so you can use a mde/accde as the front end.
